anguage Schools in the Netherlands (VTN). His travels took him to some fifty countries and with a British boss, a French speaking wife and a multinational team of colleagues, he developed a keen interest in the challenges and pitfalls of intercultural communication. Most professional language schools in the Netherlands work with trainers who are native speakers of the language they teach. In these international meeting places par excellence, birds of many feathers mingle: teachers and students of Dutch, but also language trainers teaching English, French, Spanish, German etc. For many years this was Hans’ natural habitat, which enabled him to draw from all these people’s experiences, insights and anecdotes (not to mention their irritations) and develop an informative and interactive program for the benefit of recently arrived expats, for whom the Dutch Experience has just begun.
